2. 2 Mg/K
3. Mg/K 
4. Mg/2K

The displacement y of a particle executing periodic motion is given by $y=4{\cos }^2\left(t/2\right)\sin \left(1000t\right).$ This expression may be considered to be a result of the superposition of  ........... independent harmonic motions

2. Three

3. Four         

4. Five

A particle of mass m is attached to three identical springs A, B and C each of force constant k a shown in figure. If the particle of mass m is pushed slightly against the spring A and released then the time period of oscillations is -

(a) $2\mathrm{\pi }\sqrt{\frac{2\mathrm{m}}{\mathrm{k}}}$          (b) $2\mathrm{\pi }\sqrt{\frac{\mathrm{m}}{2\mathrm{k}}}$

(c) $2\mathrm{\pi }\sqrt{\frac{\mathrm{m}}{\mathrm{k}}}$            (d) $2\mathrm{\pi }\sqrt{\frac{\mathrm{m}}{3\mathrm{k}}}$

The graph shows the variation of displacement of a particle executing S.H.M. with time. We infer from this graph that -

(1) The force is zero at time T/8

(2) The velocity is maximum at time T/4

(3) The acceleration is maximum at time T

(4) The P.E. is equal to total energy at time T/4

For a particle executing S.H.M. the displacement x is given by $A \cos \omega t$. Identify the graph which represents the variation of potential energy (P.E.) as a function of time t and displacement x.
